The city of Jackson has big plans for improving its parking meter situation downtown.

Jackson has approximately 1,200 meters, with the majority located in the downtown corridor. However, the meter technology currently in use is out of date, and many of the meters are constantly on the blink.

The meters located on Pearl Street, across from City Hall and the Greater Jackson Chamber Partnership, have been out of order on at least two recent visits by the Sun.
